The Daily - How Biden Adopted Trump’s Trade War With China

Donald Trump upended decades of American policy when he started a trade war with China. Many thought that President Biden would reverse those policies. Instead, he’s stepping them up. Jim Tankersley, who covers economic policy at the White House, explains.

Donald Trump upended decades of American policy when he started a trade war with China.

Many thought that President Biden would reverse those policies.

Today, my colleague Jim Tankers's Sleep, Explains.

So we are going to talk today about something I find very interesting and I know you've been following

We're in the middle of a presidential campaign

You are an economics reporter looking at these two candidates and you've been trying to

understand how Trump and Biden are thinking about our number one economic

rival and that is China. As we know Trump has been very loud and very clear about his views on China.

Well, no one is going to accuse President Biden of being as loud as former President Trump.

But I think he's actually been fairly clear in a way that might surprise a lot of people

about how he sees economic competition with China.

We're going after China in the wrong way.

And Biden has kind of surprisingly sounded a lot in his own Joe Biden way like Trump.

They're not competing, they're cheating, they're cheating, and we've seen the damage here in America.

He has been very clear that he thinks China is cheating in trade.

The bottom line is I want fair competition with China, not conflict.

This is what the news should sound like. The biggest stories of our time, told by the best journalists in the world. Hosted by Michael Barbaro and Sabrina Tavernise. Twenty minutes a day, five days a week, ready by 6 a.m.
